Shipping charges are calculated using a flat fee for the first half kilogram, with a lower subsequent fee charge for every additional half kilogram.

Shipping weight is determined by volumetric and actual weight of a shipment – whichever is greater. Volumetric weight is calculated by multiplying the dimensions of a package and dividing the result via a volumetric factor.

Shipments to Singapore are subject to 7% Goods and Services Tax (GST) if their CIF (Cost of Goods + Insurance + Freight) exceeds S$400. If applicable, GST is paid at international shipping checkout with us, and no further payment is required upon receipt of your shipment.If your shipment contains Tobacco/Cigar, Liquor/Wine and/or Silver Coins, any applicable duties will be paid to the delivery courier when you receive your shipment.

Note: While the Cost of Goods in this example is S$390, and less than S$400, its CIF value (S$424.20) exceeds the tax-free allowance of S$400, thus GST is applicable.

What are GST handling fees?

It is the processing/administrative fee (5%) levied on the GST amount payable.

B. Australia

Shipments to Australia are delivered duty paid (DDP), hence taxes and duties are included in your total shipping cost. These fees are payable if the total cost of goods reached AU$ 1,000.00.

C. Rest of the World

All imported goods are subject to a country's customs and duties. As limits and regulations vary in different countries, we encourage you to check on the website of your country's governing authority.

Shipments to the rest of the world, are delivered with duty unpaid (DDU). This means duties and customs will not be included on your final checkout during shipment. Duties and custom payments will be made to the courier delivering your package.

Crating ensures fragile items with insufficient protection arrive safely at their international destination.

When an item is flagged for crating due insufficient protection, a customer may:

Ship the parcel as it is. Insurance will only cover lost or missing items, and not item damage, or

Crate the package, so it is insured against damage. Crating fees are quoted upon request, and crating may affect final shipping weight.

The following items are usually fragile and subject to crating

Big/flat screen TVs

Chandeliers

Large porcelain/glass figurines

Mirrors

Crating fees will be determined on an individual basis and customers will be notified of crating details when their shipments arrive at their U.S. Address.

Please note that crating will also affect shipping rate, as dimensions and actual weight will change. Rates will be determined by volumetric or actual weight, whatever is higher. Your chargeable shipping weight will be based on the new weight of your package after it has been crated (inclusive of the crate).
